Unpopular Opinion: Twitter's Unpopular Opinion meme is wearing very thin. But before it's completely dead, we thought we'd share our own feelings on what an unpopular opinion REALLY is, as well as sharing some of our own.

We also react to listener's Unpopular Opinions and talk about some queer and geeky news and catchups: feat. Let's Go Pikachu, Solo: A Star Wars Story and Black Sails!

Today is Part 3 of our mini-series that puts a spotlight on sexualities and identities that don't often get the attention they deserve. And today, we are joined by Sophie from PolyAM Radio to discuss Polyamory!

We talk about what it is, some of the specific terms related to it, it's intersection with different queer identities and our personal experiences in regards to non-monogomy. Then in the second half, we talk about its representation in media both canon and fanon and how we want to see it portrayed in the future.
